    Jakarta Crown Eco Management: UN's "Post-2015

    Development Agenda" Morphed from "Agenda 21"

    The hurried Chinese customer was angry and raising her voice. She was demanding in broken

    English why the girl behind the cosmetics counter could not understand her long shopping listwritten in Chinese. You learn Chinese if you to survive, she said. The girls eyes werebrimming with tears at the abusive and rude treatment.

    I walked away, upset at the unnecessary verbal dress-down. Was the Chinese lady a tourist or an

    employee of the 247 plus Chinese free trade zones that have sprung up around the country? I am

    not sure which is going to be worse, being under the boot of communist China who is buying

    more and more of our debt, land, buildings, military equipment, food producers such asSmithfield Foods, GM (dubbed General Tsos Motors), the ideology of Islam, or UnitedNations global governance? All spell potential trouble for what is left of our freedom.

    On May 30, 2013 a letter was sent to the Secretary-General of the United Nation, signed by the

    Presidents of Indonesia, Liberia, and the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, David

    Cameron. This letter was informing Ban Ki-moon, the Secretary-General that the task heassigned to a panel of twenty-seven individuals has been completed, and the report published.

    The distinguished panelists represented Indonesia, Liberia, UK, USA, Cuba, Benin, India,

    Sweden, Mexico, Colombia, Japan, Yemen, Republic of Korea, Germany, Mozambique, Kenya,

    Russian Federation, Nigeria, Latvia, Timor, Netherlands, Jordan, France, Brazil, Turkey, andChina. Representing the United States was John Podesta, chair of the Center for AmericanProgress and of the Center for American Progress Action Fund, advocates for progressive policy.

    Organizations and 250 chief executive officers of major corporations. A complete list can be

    found at www.post2015hlp.org.

    The main goal of this new agenda is to end poverty through sustainable development in one

    generation, by 2030 to be exact.

    Sustainable development as the United Nations envisions it includes development ofgood

    governance as they see it, rule of law, free speech, open and accountable government. Soundslofty, however, should governments be accountable to the United Nations?

    The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) of 13 years ago did not include the economic,social, and environmental aspects of sustainable developmentit did not promote sustainablepatterns of consumption and production and left out guidelines for consumption and production.

    Most importantly, climate change was not addressed. Substituting global warming for climate

    change might pass the scrutiny.

    The UN report says on page 5, Scientific evidence of the direct threat from climate change hasmounted. There is no such scientific evidence. On the contrary, U.N.s Intergovernmental Panel

    on Climate Change (IPCC), the main purveyor of global warming/climate change said, There isinsufficient evidence to determine whether trends existed in small-scale phenomena such astornadoes and hail. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) said,adiscernible trend was not present over the past 30 years, and that, unless new findings suggest

    otherwise, a claim to attribution (to human impacts) is thus problematic. (PreliminaryAssessment of Climate Factors Contributing to the Extreme 2011 Tornadoes, July 8, 2011)

    The Congressional Report Service released a 26-page report on May 22, 2013, SevereThunderstorms and Tornadoes in the United States. Peter Folger, Specialist in Energy andNatural Resources Policy, said, It is not clear whether changes to climate over the past half-century have increased the frequency or intensity of thunderstorms and tornadoes, or whether

    climate changes were responsible for the intense and destructive tornado activity in 2011, or forthe extremely destructive EF-5 tornado that struck Moore, Oklahoma, on May 20, 2013.

    Damages seem to be increasing, similar to trends for other natural disasters in part due tochanging populations, demographics, weather-sensitive infrastructure, and better and faster

    reporting. The Weather Channel lists the top 10 deadliest tornadoes, some of which have

    occurred long before the industrial revolution.

    The UNs Post-2015 Development Agenda report continues, The stresses of unsustainableproduction and consumption patterns have become clear, in areas likedeforestation, water

    scarcity, food waste, and high carbon emissions. Losses from natural disastersincluding

    drought, floods, and stormshave increased at an alarming rate. Because the UN bureaucratsknow better, here is what they have proposed, following conferences in New York, London,

    Monrovia, and Bali.

    In New York, they have discussed social justice, better accountability, variables of poverty, andend to violence against women. The fact that women are treated like chattel and second class

    citizens in some cultures was not an issue.

    In Monrovia, they talked about economic transformation, social inclusion, and business for

    sustainable development.

    In Bali, they agreed on a global partnership for a people -centered and planet-sensitive agenda,based on the principle of common humanity by regulating global financial andcommoditymarkets and by managing the worlds consumption and production patterns in more sustainableand equitable ways. I translate this as re-distribution of wealth in the name of saving motherEarth, from evil capitalists to third world nations by telling us what to consume, what toproduce, what to sell, how much, and where. Capitalism is evil and global communism mustreign supreme with the United Nations at the helm because unelected foreign bureaucrats know

    better.

    The entire 69-page document can be found in English at the following linkOne World, One

    Sustainable Development Agenda, Building Consensus, and Our Vision are touted in the paper. I

    have no idea who empowered the UN to fundamentally transform our sovereign way of life.Take for example the background research paper, Sustainable Development and PlanetaryBoundaries submitted to Ban Ki-moon in support of the Post-2015 Agenda report.

    Global environmental constraints for every country must include the concepts of carryingcapacity, sustainable consumption and production, guardrails, tipping points,footprints, safe operating space, and planetary boundaries. This paper states, For the firsttime we are seeing evidence of human-induced changes on how the Earth system operatesfromaccelerated melting of ice sheets to shifts in rainfall patterns and the undermining of ecosystemsand biodiversity. There is no such definitive evidence tied to human existence, justenvironmentalist talking points.

    The authors have determined that planetary boundaries for economic growth involve the richcountries substantially reduce their standard of living, and developing countries can grow until

    they converge at the lower income of high-income countries. At that point economic growthwould need to stop. The rich world is lucky to have a reached a high level of income first. Ipersonally do not call it luck; I call it hard work and entrepreneurship in a free society.

    Another recommendation was to switch the entire global economy to low-carbon economy,

    citing the scaremongering and unproven 2012 World Bank data that the worldwill likely experience a likely 3-5 degree C increase in temperatures by the end of this centurythat would expose all countries to catastrophic climate change, including sea level rise, ocean

    acidification, extreme storms, droughts, floods, crops failures, and the collapse of whole

    ecosystems.Five primary goals are listed in the Executive Summary of the Post-2015 Agenda.

    We outline five transformational shifts, applicable to both developed and developing countriesalike, including a new Global Partnership as the basis for a single, universal post-2015 agenda

    that will deliver this vision for thesake of humanity. Thisuniversal agenda (their emphasis)must be driven by:

    1. Leave no one behind

    2. Put sustainable development at the core.3. Transform economies for jobs and inclusive growth.

    4. Build peace and effective, open and accountable institutions for all.

    5. Forge a new global partnership.

    United Nations wants to ensure that everyone must accept their proper share of responsibilityfor the ending of poverty. To reach this goal, UN wants to track progress at all levels ofincome. Nobody can be denied universal human rights and basic economi c opportunities,regardless of ethnicity, gender, geography, disability, race, or other status. Uncle UN is going tomake sure that our wealth is evenly distributed across the planet in its global communism vision.

    Developed countries have to adopt social inclusion and must reduce unsustainableconsumption by switching to a green economy and by eradicating poverty for eight billion

    people by 2030 if the planet is to survive the alarming pace of climate change. Climate has been

    changing for eons but our brainwashed youth have developed now into the low information adult

    voters who believe the scaremongering tactics of gloom and doom.

    The developed world must reduce their consumption and must build diversified economies,

    with equal opportunities for all. In this utopian view, it is our responsibility that everyone haswhat they need to grow and prosper, including access to quality education and skills, healthcare,clean water, electricity, telecommunications, and transport. We must rapidly urbanize becausecities are the worlds engines for business and innovation. I wonder how the UN plans to feed8 billion people living in high density urban areas. Who is going to grow food?

    Peace and good governance is a fundamental human right provided through a transparencyrevolution. Where is this governance coming from? Who decides what a transparencyrevolution is? Who decided that peace and good governance are human rights?

    Giving North to South aid is no longer enougheveryone must be fully accountable to Uncle

    UN for corruption, illicit financial flows, money laundering, tax evasion, and hidden ownershipof assets. I guess there will be no more off-shore or Swiss Bank accounts for well-off citizensof the world.

    Trade must be fair, technology must be transferred and diffused, and financial stability mustreign supreme. Who will police compliance and how will non-compliance be punished? Would

    technology development occur if it must be shared for free?

    Multinational corporations must pay taxes fairly to the countries in which they operate. Thefinancial system must be heavily regulated. This Post-2015 Agenda is counting on the worldssavings of $18 trillion. Finance will come not just from aid but private capital, major pension

    funds, mutual funds, sovereign wealth funds, private corporations, development banks, and otherinvestors. (p. 12)

    The five goals will be considered achieved for all relevant income and social groups after arigorous monitoring system. Who is going to be in charge of this monitoring system and whowill conduct it?

    This entire UN report, The Post-2015 Development Agenda is still UN Agenda 21sSustainable Development morphed from old into new, revamped talking points of arresting

    economic growth, re-distribution of wealth, and de-developing the United States, the onestumbling block in the path of UNs global communist governance.

    The tiresome talking points are still based on debunked man-made global warming caused by

    greenhouse gas emissions. If EU flatulence tax did not work, perhaps Mark Steyns suggestionwould work that scientists should genetically engineer non-flatulent cows. The methane gasproblem would be solved and ergo, the planet would survive.

    I dont want to burst anybodys transformational bubble, however, having lived under bothsocialist and capitalist economies, and under freedom of speech vs. communist tyranny, I would

    choose capitalism (not the crony variety) any day.
